5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
A good maintenance program is the key to
long compressor life. This section contains a
program that, when adhered to, should keep
the compressor in top operating condition.
However, it should be understood that these
intervals are for normal operation in a good
clean
environment.
More
frequent
inspections, oil changes and general
maintenance should be carried out in dusty
environments, high ambient temperatures or
extended light load conditions.
Follow the prescribed periodic maintenance
schedules given in this section as
recommended. Failure to follow the
prescribed periodic maintenance at the
recommended intervals will impair the
package safety, performance characteristics,
shorten the package’s life, and will negatively
affect the warranty coverage of the package.
Before starting the compressor system,
inspect the machine package for any
suspect condition that may cause a safety
hazard or hamper operation. Replace
damaged components with Genuine IMT
Replacement Parts.
NOTE
It is important to keep in mind that
operating the compressor package in a
severe environment may require more
frequent service intervals than prescribed
in the periodic maintenance schedule.
WARNING
Follow all applicable safety
recommendations as outlined in
Section 1:
Safety
of this manual.
WARNING
DO NOT remove caps, plugs and/or other
components when compressor is running
or pressurized. Stop compressor and de-
pressurize system prior to maintenance of
system. Relieve the entire system pressure
by opening the air tank drain/vent valve,
which will vent all pressure to the
atmosphere.
Wear personal protective equipment such
as gloves, work boots, and eye and hearing
protection as required for the task at hand.
WARNING
DO NOT work on any electrical components
unless the battery is disconnected.
WARNING
It is important that the compressor oil be of
a recommended type and that it is
inspected and replaced together with the
oil and air filters, in accordance with this
manual.
CAUTION
Always wear personal protective
equipment such as gloves, work shoes,
eye, and hearing protection as required for
the task at hand.
CAUTION
Compressors and drive motors generate
heat and create hot surfaces. Use caution
when operating or servicing the
compressor system. Some surfaces and
components may be hot.
